 Someone ran into the problem somehow. That is sufficient grounds for
 considering it a real problem rather than just standards wankery.
 
 Furthermore, the PR was reported against a stable branch; the default
 procedure in such cases is to pull up the fix to that branch (that is,
 netbsd-5). I'm not doing that because it is a fairly minor issue.
 
 However, at this stage in the netbsd-6 release cycle, even minor fixes
 should be pulled up when it is reasonably convenient to do so.
 
 PRs should be closed when they're fixed, not to make the PR statistics
 look better.
